No water on the floor
Worked perfectly

Work great
I used these to build a canister filter out of a 5-gallon bucket and they work 100% better than uniseals. I'll stick with these bulkhead fittings from now on. The holes I drilled in the plastic buckets were a little wobbly so I added some silicone sealant before tightening, and there are no leaks. 3/4" slip bulkhead fittings worked with 3/4" PVC pipe just fine.

Great to Build the BADest Rain Barrel in town
Got this to use in a rain barrel build. Worked great. I like this 3/4 better than the 1/2 version on my last barrel, The 3/4 had a much better flow rate, especially once the barrel starts to get empty. Hole is about 1.25" and I installed with about half CC of silicone caulking from a squeeze tube. No leaks and working great in hot Texas sun. Used two, One at the bottom and a second right at the top edge for an overflow.

Great-I used them to install my A/C disconnect box.
Okay, I'm using two of these "not as intended." After my home was nicely resided, I wanted a clean look to getting the 220v cable from the A/C disconnect box into my house. Nothing exists currently, except drill a hole, pull the cable through it, slap on a bunch of silicone. Instead I used a Carlton PVC type L junction box with a 3/4" stub into and out of it. With a small amount of sanding these slip bulkhead nuts fit on the stubs and are easily cemented in place using PVC grey cement. Then one goes into the metal disconnect box, and you tighten it down (washer provides watertight seal). The other one goes into the hole through my new Hardie siding. The nut secures it inside (drywall isn't up yet), and again the washer provides a seal. Someone should market this. It looks professional and I'm sure will last longer than me.

Works in aquariums. Save your money and buy this.
Works well. This is more affordable than some other bulkheads I have seen. It has the same functionality. The seal has a ridge which is nice. One of my more expensive bulkheads from Bulk Reef Supply didn't even have the nice ridge on the seal.

Disappointed in product
Was not comparable with 3/4th PVC, unfortunately.

Great fitting. I'm a pipe fitter so i use a million fitting and this one is standard. I don't understand why people complain. No need for a second gasket, it is water proof just hand tight. (hint : the gasket do not go on the nut side)

Installs easy, creates a good seal on plastic water storage barrel. Spigot screws in easily. As with all plumbing you should use teflon tape on threads to create the best possible seal.

The size is wrong.... I had to figure out something to make my pipes fit whit it. Exept that, look strong and good quality.
